If you are referring to the illustrious Mr. Skipper, I'm afraid he has taken Pareidolia to all new levels. It never ceases to amaze me when someone
actually believes his rather bizarre interpretations of Mars imagery.

I like the replyes that some people give like: "The thread was here already, it's a rock". Well the correct way to say it is "the thread already
exists, people consider it to be a rock" since none of you are actually NASA scientists who can say without a doubt that it is a rock. I really
don't understand why people act like they hold the absolute truth. it can be whatever, a rock, a rat, a lizard, whatever until humans actually go
there and pick it up and say: "HEY, IT'S A ROCK!" stop acting all cocky and discuss not impose. this is a place where we, as people like to discuss
and we don't really like BDSM where some of you impose your point of view.

Thank god somebody said it. Who really knows what it is in that image. Could be a rodent on Mars, could be a rock on Mars. Could be a rodent here
on earth too. I just get tired of people stating their opinion like it is a fact. This is a conspiracy site for goodness sake.

sweet.. never seen that before
Not made up my mind yet what I think it is, but at first glace. either a real life form or a Photoshopped rock

Thanks for uploading these!

To all the Nay-Sayers: How do you KNOW for a FACT that this is NOT a rodent? Seriously? I get that yes it COULD be a rock, but it definitely looks way
more like a rodent. At least be somewhat humble and admit that you don't know for sure what it is, but in your humble opinion it definitely looks like
a rock. I don't have a problem with that. But so many of you seriously at like middle school children who are arguing with someone. You resort to name
calling and insults. Are you serious? For the sake of humanity, please grow up.

With that said, I think that these pictures show it is NOT a rock. Why?

Look at the shadows! there are shadows UNDER the rock/creature. Whatever this is is clearly suspending itself at least a half inch above the ground,
as in: It's got feet.

You can even see the foot. You can see the mouth. You can see the ears. You can see the eye (for sure.)
And they are all exactly where they would be on a rodent.

I don't know how the creature would survive. I don't know what it would eat. I don't know much because I'VE NEVER BEEN TO MARS.

But it boggles my mind that people are calling others 'stupid' or 'idiots' because they are willing to be open to the idea that this MAY be a rodent
of sorts.

Again, all of you people who think you are SO much smarter and logical than everyone else and think that everyone else is so dumb because they
aren't...well, YOU: Get over yourselves.

Its a RAT and the reason it bothers you so much is that it is LIVING PROOF of more NASA fraud.

How do you KNOW it's a rodent and not a rock? Have you been there? Have you examined the object in question first-hand? Or are you just basing this
off of what you see and what your brain is interpreting the object to be?

I know this is a case of Pareidolia because we see examples of this happening every day of our lives. Seeing faces in clouds, random shapes made from
the chaos of dots on the ceiling, making faces out of rocks you see, etc. This rock is just another case of Pareidolia.

And some how you are above Paredolia?

You KNOW it's NOT a rock, right? (You know this for a fact...how?)
And yet you accuse other people of Pareidolia because they see a rodent instead.
How do you know it's not because YOU want to see a rock that you see a rock? It works both ways.

Just playing devils advocate

From my personal experiences, I know fine well there are/is life on Mars.

Because this kind of stuff, as I said, happens every day. Just like when you see a face looking at the moon, or when you see a bunny in a cloud. It's
your brain processing the random array of information into something it recognizes.

Personal experiences, eh? So you've been to Mars then? You've seen this life first hand?

I smell a rat. This whole thing seems pretty squirrely if you ask me. If there is a race of rodents on Mars, I wonder what their eek-conomy must be
like. I sure hope they don't have any weapons of mice destruction.

Okay, enough puns. :p

A mammal like a rodent couldn't survive on Mars. They would literally be unable to breath. So, either this is a picture not from Mars of an Earth
rodent, or it's a very rodenty looking rock.

There's another term for that though: Hypocrisy.

No, no one is above Pareidolia. It's something your brain does that you cannot control. I actually use Pareidolia to my advantage when doing my
artwork. I take what my brain makes me see in random places (the dots on my ceiling or my wallpaper) and draw it. Nice way of trying to twist what I
said, though.

Oh, so now you know what I want to see, eh? Believe it or not, I'm a firm believer in extraterrestrial life. I believe that there's life outside of
this planet. However, what we're seeing here is a case of Pareidolia. I mentioned in my first post in this thread that not only do I see a rock that
looks like a rodent, I also see one that looks like a horse and one that looks like a whale or dolphin. On closer inspection of the image, I also see
two hands, a face, a rabbits face, and a sheep.
Does this mean all of those are actually there? No, of course not. It just means my brain is interpreting the objects into familiar things.

Your last sentence is what makes us all different, in a way that we perceive objects to give us information. An example of this is, if I were to show
ATS a " Factual " image I had taken in the Amazon rain forest of an unknown species of rat I had observed then, some members would agree and some
would disagree and say it was a tree root. And that's my point, I had been there to capture it, if we don't go to Mars and " Factually Identify "
it then we don't know for sure exactly what it is

But then again, this is a conspiracy site were we are expected to debate and share are own perceptions

Yes indeed, I have seen many things through my line of work that would make you go

and

However. not to be seen to derail the thread topic I will not discuss it here. I am entertaining the idea of starting a thread on what we have
achieved, though just waiting on the right time to choose as it is not just my decision to share the information. We work as a team of 4 for remote
viewing.
